Named the official charity of the Tour de France in the UK next year, Marie Curie is staging its own three-day event from July 24-27 to coincide with the final weekend of the Tour de France in Paris.

Participants will cycle to the White Cliffs of Dover, before sailing to France for two more days of cycling through the French countryside to Paris. At the end of the 300km route, participants will cycle through the boulevards of the French capital before crossing the Seine and finishing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
